🌿 Why This Matters
Traditional leaders hold historical legitimacy, cultural wisdom, and grassroots influence that can accelerate the impact of public health efforts — especially in under-served, rural, and linguistically diverse communities.
By amplifying what works, SayPro ensures that:
- Health equity improves
- Community voices are central
- Partnerships are sustainable and locally led
